The Ruckus in Ottawa Part 7: furnaceface and the 90s punk rock explosion
Tom Stewart was the lead singer and bassist in furnaceface, who were one of the most popular indie Canadian bands of the 1990s. We hooked up at his music shop, Spaceman Music, to hear about the "good ol' days" with the furnaceface boys, and a little about what life was like riding the 90s grunge wave.
